Now about your blog, I found it looking for help to structure an article. I’m interested in participating for 2 reasons, I want new writing blogfriends and the other reason is that I want to develop my skills.
Your list of criteria: somehow I cannot remember it. Maybe it needs more particularities.

I’m not sure if you want me to give a review of your blog, of this post and where or when.
Maybe this is because you write about all these things in one post, in my mind I mix these up.

The writing style is clear and transparent in appearance, there is room for more personality.

I’m in too as I want to help you get this off the ground. What I think you need to do is post another entry that lists all the current participants who have committed to doing it.

Then minimize your rules as per “Jacob’s suggestions”.

Also you need a prominent link above the fold which makes your comp standing out. People who visit now and don’t know about it won’t find the contest.

I also like the idea of reviewing all the other contenders but in order to get more you will have to maybe posts all contenders so far and then set a deadline until newcomers can opt in. From that date reviews between bloggers can start in a specified time frame and then you can tally the votes.

Just a few suggestions from me. Not sure whether you like them or not.

I blogged about your contest on Contest Beat here – http://www.contestbeat.com/the-group-review-project/

All we do is write about contests in the blogosphere so hopefully we can send you a few more entries too!
